Ciro seems to have made it to the top. If only he were aware that Imma left Genny a message revealing the truth…

Ciro Di Marzio, right hand man of clan boss Pietro Savastano, and Ciro’s fatherly friend Attilio set fire to Salvatore Conte’s home to cut Salvatore down to size – him, the ruthless upcoming contender on the Savastano clan’s turf. When Conte not only manages to escape but, in revenge, sprays a local bar frequented by the Savstanos with bullets and hand grenades, this means all-out war for Ciro’s boss Pietro, whatever the cost. Indeed the death toll of the ensuing bloody battle is high, including Attilio. Heartbroken, Ciro mourns silently the loss of his foster father who had taken him as a child. While Pietro is satisfied with the outcome Ciro secretly yearns for revenge.

Ciro knows the time for revenge has not yet come, for the next major problem he has to deal with is always waiting around the corner. Like the bust of the Savastano cocaine shipment at the port of Naples where the whistleblower must be found.Or like Pietro’s son Genny’s initiation, that Ciro has to mentor. But on his first random kill, Genny can’t go through with it, so Ciro has to finish the job. When they both resolve to lie to Pietro saying Genny handled the job fine, the charade is bound to backfire once Pietro puts his mind to it. And when it does he will demand a vile display of loyalty from Ciro…But at the moment Pietro’s priority is to take care of the supposed whistleblower, his long-time friend and deputy clan leader Bolleta. He also finds himself cleaning up behind the mischief his son Genny has been up to.Then, in a twist of fate, Pietro is arrested on a police road block search and Ciro’s chance seems to have come.

But Ciro’s turn hasn’t come quite yet, for Pietro manages to hold on to the reins from inside the prison. Even being behind bars won’t stop him sending Ciro and his men to eliminate the Nigerian crack-dealers in a brutal massacre. And among the inmates Pietro is the undisputed top dog.Meanwhile, Genny finally succeeds in impressing Noemi, the girl he had set his sight on, by surprising her with Alesso, her favorite Italian singer. However Pietro’s time as clan leader is finally up when he is transferred to a high security prison and kept in solitary confinement under twenty-four hour observation. It seems as if the throne is vacant. Who will take Pietro’s place…?

With Pietro gone, it is Imma who surprisingly starts to take care of business. With a couple of clever moves and a lot of courage she is suddenly in the pole position. Ciro is left with no choice but to take his orders from her now, with particular concern to her son Genny. And suddenly, Genny, with some pressure from Imma, slowly starts to emancipate himself from his mentor Ciro. When Imma finds a hole in the Savastano accounts managed by the family’s banker Franco Musi in Milan, she reveals the full extent of her dedication, even ruthlessness. And when Pietro informs her that Genny and Ciro are to be his heirs, she doesn’t hesitate to send them off to what seems like missions with no return.

And when Pietro informs her that Genny and Ciro are to be his heirs, she doesn’t hesitate to send them off to what seems like missions with no return.

Ciro realizes Imma had sent him away to pave her own road to power. Disapproving of the way she runs business, he sets up his own operation, a campaign of terror to deter intruders and demean Imma’s role within the clan. But Imma has learned quite well how to play the power-game herself:She assigns Ciro to a hit that turns out to be a pitfall and goes awfully wrong. As a result, Ciro is forced to go into deep cover for a while. Finally, as if to underscore Imma’s new position as the undisputed boss, Ciro receives an unambiguous gift from Pietro Savastano leaving him in cold fury: a plastic soldier, standing in attention…

Now that it has become clear that Imma has Pietro’s blessing and with Genny out of reach, Ciro realizes that his strategy must once again be to toe the line while Imma starts to restructure the Savastano business empire. And woe to those who dare not to follow the new set of rules…When one of the Savastano clan’s men turns the ignition to Ciro’s car and ends up blown to smithereens the situation unravels into a bloody feud between the Neapolitan clans. Once again, Imma proves her cunningness. Cool, calm and collected, she sets a trap. And when she presses the button, all rival clan leaders find themselves behind bars. But things are bound to change when Genny unexpectedly returns from Honduras. And he has nothing much in common with the Genny who once left Naples behind…"

Genny has strikingly changed and no longer needs his family or his mentor Ciro. Surrounding himself with “his boys” from the videogame parlor, he takes matters into his own hands. His main objective for the moment being to get rid of the current mayor, he soon replaces him with a personal friend, Michele Casillo. Libel, slander, rigging votes, extortion or murder if necessary: Genny leads the campaign with cold determination. Increasingly keeping Ciro at a distance, Genny might just have to be careful when he demands subordination and loyalty: There’s something in the air. Does Ciro have a secret agenda?"

Backed by the new mayor, Genny plans to lead the clan towards a bright and prosperous future. But events to come will shatter his grand dream. In the background, none other than Ciro sets up one of Genny’s young followers, Daniele, to kill Tonino Giuliano, Salvatore Conte’s right-hand in Naples. When the boy realizes what he has done he deserts the city with Ciro setting out to hunt him down to erase all traces leading to himself. Hearing the devastating news, Genny sends out word that he had nothing to do with it, fully aware of killing’s potentially disastrous consequences: for him, and for the entire clan."

Major bloodshed, if not all-out war with Salvatore Conte, is imminent when Conte returns to Naples to get to the bottom to avenge Giuliano’s murder. Ciro weaves his web further around Genny to distract from the rat he is beginning to smell: If it wasn’t Genny who gave the order, he must join the manhunt for Daniel to prove his own innocence… Realizing it is the only way to save her son’s life, Daniele’s mother pays Imma a surprise visit from mother to mother, imploring her to spare her son’s life who was obviously nothing but a pawn in the whole scam. Even more surprisingly, Imma gives her her word, but only moments later Savastano cars are already racing towards Daniele’s hideout. Little do they know that Daniele’s brother Massimo has pleaded for Daniele’s life in very much the same terms, but with Conte who, in turn, demands to know his hideout. When the Savastano clan finally arrives all they find is Daniele’s dead body..."

What all bosses had tried to avoid, is now the dire truth: Daniele’s death sparks an entire series of bloodshed. All clans opposing or holding grudges against the Savastanos rally around Conte forcing Genny to cut all ties to him he had still been upholding for strategic reasons. Genny now faces a civil war on the inside of his own clan: a deadly battle between his own boys and the old lieutenants. Only Imma’s intervention prevents an all-out war and reestablishes a however fragile order. She even gets to the bottom of Giuliano’s murder, discovering that none other than Ciro was behind it. But without her realizing it, she, too, is already caught in the web of intrigue Ciro has so meticulously woven: Only moments before confronting Ciro, Conte’s men shower her with machine gun fire – Conte’s revenge for Daniele. Ciro seems to have made it to the top. If only he were aware that Imma left Genny a message revealing the truth…

While Daniele’s death may have caused bloodshed, Imma’s death leads to open warfare in the streets. So when the pavement reaches boiling point even Ciro has to flee to Rome with his wife and daughter. Both clans barricade themselves in their apartment bunkers, waiting for the enemy in a lethal stalemate. When squadrons of police arrive at the scene, it is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back... Genny, now knowing, hunts down Ciro seeking justice for his betrayal but Ciro turns the tables once again. Ciro finally seizes the reins of power, especially with his old boss, Pietro Savastano, now officially turned mentally ill in solitary confinement. This is why they transfer him to the less guarded lunatic penitentiary. So much less guarded…

Description

Don Pietro is the head of the Savastano clan, one of the most powerful Neapolitan crime families, and embodies the role of the old-school godfather. His power is based on force, and violence is his means of silencing all challengers. At his side is Ciro Di Marzio, the obedient and self-assured right-hand man. Ciro’s faith in the ‘family’ is shaken when he realizes what ends Don Pietro will go to. When Don Pietro is sidelined by a long jail sentence, Ciro’s code of honor forces him to guide and protect Pietro’s son Genny, the heir to the Savastano empire, grooming him to take his father’s place until he is free to command once more. While attempting to carve out his own foothold of power within the clan, Ciro must contend with Genny’s impulsiveness, the iron will of Don Pietro’s wife, the family’s growing unrest without their godfather and rival organizations bent on claiming Savastano territory.

Touch darkness and darkness touches you. HBO presents this searing drama series about two detectives--played by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson--and their epic hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana.
